My inventi n relates to that class of cash registers and indicators where revolving targets are employed. 'In' the present target indicators it would be quite-inconvenient, very cumbersome and intricate to supply a separate target for each unit, each ten, each hundred andeach thousand from one cent to $99.99 with the separate amounts that could be manipulated By the use of my revolving targets any amount from one cent to $99.99 maybe readily indicated and shown upon the targets whichread alike on both the front and rear of. the machine. i

In Fig. 1, reading from left to right the first nine keys on the right hand control the unit target, the second nine keys control the tens target, the third nine keys control the hundreds target and the fourth nine keys control the thousands target. The normal position ofthe targets are as shown at zero, no key being necessary for the ciphers. An 0 ening in the outer case is re resented by t e lines b, b, Fig. 1, to enable dh be read through the casing. The two targets a, a, on the right represent the cents and the two tar ts a a on the left represent the dollarsp" he'direction of the targets is as indicated by the arrows but their reversalis herein contemplated.

In the drawings (1, d d d represent the top of the frame, and d, the base of the machine. Uprights d d", are attached to frame d, and to base d. Extending from frame (I, to frame (1 is a shaft-c There is in Figs. 15, 16, 17.

The rockers e, (3, shown in Figs. 5, and 6, work loosely upon shaft 0 between frames (1 d and are operated by the keys as shown in Figs. 7, 8. When in their normal position these rockers e, e are parallel the keys being curved as at 7, 7", Figs. 7, 8, in such a manner that when the key 7 of the unit rocker e is depressed tap et 7 will not interfere'with rocker e whic controls the tens Likewise when key 7 ofthe tens target a is operated upon tappet 7 will-not interfere with rocker e of the units target a. Tappets 7, 7, operate upon-the outer bars of rockers e, a, between siaft 0 and the key button 7. a

To the back end of rocker 6, Fig. 3, is at-- tached a rackg, loosely pivoted at g and ejtargets to isrigidly attached to shaft 0 of target a, and

Arm 0 carries a second arm, o loosely pivoted to arm 0" at W. Rigidly attached to arm'o, isa pin 1', capable of engaging with the gear teeth of gear wheel p when key 1 is de ressed. In the outer end of arm 0, is an elhptical opening, 1', encircling a pin, 1'. Pin 1" is rigidly attached tov arm 0, and when ke 1 is de ressed the outer end of rocker e, ulcrume etc, will be raised, carrying 0 upward and the lower end of elliptical opening 1' will engage pin 1' raising arm 0, and pin 1' will be thrown upward and engage the teeth of gear wheel 19. Arm 0, being loosely pivoted at r on arm 0, when an upward pressure is brought upon arm 0 by the .de ression of key 1, two opposing circles w be formed above the horizontal center of wheel p and pin r, will become locked in the gear teeth of wheel p and will prevent wheel 1) from being overthrown Detent pawl f, Fig. 10, will prevent the turning backward of gear wheel p and arm e will remain stationary while locked by pin 1' to gear wheel p regardless of the distance key 1- has been depressed until pin 1' has been ex tricated from the gear teeth of wheel by release arm is. Retraction s ring m ig. 9, will exert itself as soon as t e manual pressure u on key 1 has been removed and spring 'rn wi return key 1 upward to its normal position but rocker e will remain as placed by the depression ofkey 1 until change key ch has operated upon arm 0 of shaft 0 releasing pin 1', from the gear teeth of wheel p by pressing lever 7c against pin 1', Fig. 9 forcing pin 1", out of the ear teeth of wheel I and allowing s ring m, Fig. 3 to exert itse f and return roc (er 0 to its normal position resting upon screw a, Fig. 3.

There are four release arms, 7:, k, k, k, Fig. 3, and they are all rigidly attached to shaft 0 and connected to shaft 0 as shown in Figs. 9-, 10. Upon the depression of cha a key ch, these four release arms disengage t e pins 1', from the teeth of the four gear wheels p, p, p, p, and springs m, 'm, m, m, exe'rt themselves, drawing rockers e, e, e, e, downward where they rest upon the regulating screws, '1, n, Figs. 3, 4, which are placed in standards n, n, attached to framework base (i When rockers e, e, e e, are released and allowed to return to their normal position upon screws n, n, racks g, g, g, g, Fig. 3, also-descend and return targets a, a, a, a, a, a a, a, back to. zero, as shown in Figs. 1, 18.

There are some target cash registers upon the, market which will showthe customer the the proper amount if't he key is not-presse downward its-full distance and the key returning to itsupward or normal position, if a ain depressed, would register too much and t e cash drawer would be short of the necessary amount of money to tally with the registering device. If it be intended to register say 9 cents u on my machine and key 9, is only depresse so thekey can be further depressed until the 9 shown upon the target without overcounting on the registering device. It frequently happens that a clerk in a hurry will not depress a key the full stroke and when he discovers his egror after the key has returned upward teits normal position he again uses the same key, deu essing itiloiit'sffull length" and the amountiie first registered would be short in the till.
